SBS Transit Feeder Service 296 connects residents in Tampines North to EW2DT32Tampines station and nearby amenities such as Tampines North Polyclinic and Tampines Retail Park (IKEA Tampines). Notably, Bus Service 296 is the first public bus to serve within Tampines Retail Park (IKEA, Giant & Courts), with a new bus stop directly outside IKEA Tampines. Previously, the retail park was only accessible via Tampines Retail Park shuttle bus services, or other bus services along Tampines Avenue 10. Commuters travelling to and from industrial buildings at T-Space and BHCC Space along Tampines North Drive 2 also benefit from new bus stops constructed outside these buildings.
